Andy Birkey

Special guest

Born in Northern California and raised near Seattle, Andy currently lives near Chicago making strange stuff in his garage.

A community college dropout, Andy is a mainly self taught carpenter, craftsperson, photographer, and artist. For the past 35 years, he’s had the privilege of plying his craft both from coast to coast in the U.S. and internationally.

Andy happily lives and creates in the demilitarized zone between the trades and art.

Andy Birkey is our guest this week! Central Illinois in tha house! We learn a lot from Andy about gothic woodworking, church furniture design and working with clients. We also hear from Andy about buddhism and working to get rid of anger.

Thanks to Nik Kantar for giving us our listener-contributed challenge! Rob goes for a semi-murdered-out... something... and then gets in a pickle. Andy shines some light on Opposable Thumbs. We're dying to know the tales Andy's compound miter saw could tell... Taylor let's the Eaaaagle's sooooooar.... Like they've never soared... before.... from rocky coast...
